UHD 620 vs Radeon R9 270 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R9 270 GPU is faster than the UHD 620 in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon R9 270 has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. Despite this, the UHD 620 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the UHD 620 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon R9 270 at 150 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon R9 270 is better than the UHD 620.
